Somebody was in the news the other day because their clever country-code TLD was taken away by the registry. All of the country code TLDs have weird restrictions with which you can easily fail to comply. Recourse for smaller registries can be harder to obtain.
In this case I'm not sure why they went with 'sleepio' if they weren't going to use '.io' other than perhaps it's trendy right now, but I think they probably made the right move getting the .com.
- phames 14y agoWe decided 'Sleepio' way before .io domains were available!
- tokenizer 14y agoI just noticed it redirects from sleep.io is all. It seems like while .com's are great, having something like sleep. whatever is pretty awesome. I was just curious as to why you chose one redirect over the other.
- bpaluzzi 14y agoWe decided that while we wanted to capture the .io domain for completeness' sake, for the reasons listed above (SEO implications, not "correct" usage of TLD), sleepio.com made more sense as the default / redirect target.
